Giveaway + 100% Whole Grain Lemon Blueberry Doughnuts

It’s Friday! And it’s spring and it’s sunny and I made yummy donuts! I’m so happy. And because of this, and a lot of people mentioning that they don’t have a donut pan in my previous donut posts, I’m giving away a Norpro 6-Count Nonstick Donut Pan or a $20 Amazon gift certificate for those of you with a donut pan already. Yeah, it’s not much, but I just want to spread the baked donut love around. Details are below.

When Regan at The Professional Palate posted these donuts nine weeks ago, I asked my parents to send me some dried blueberries since they don’t seem to exist in Germany. I only received them yesterday, which happened to be days after finding Trader Joe’s dried blueberries at Aldi. I bought 14 bags. Gosh darn you, German Aldi, for deciding to bring dried blueberries to Germany days before I received my package. I mean, my package could have been filled with sprinkles or cupcake liners or Reese’s or something and instead, I get a 15th bag of dried blueberries. Oh well. Too many blueberries is better than not enough. :)

The first and only thing I’ve made so far with my collection are these donuts. They’re fluffier than a normal cake donut and probably more muffin than donut, but that’s okay. They’re still awesome.

I normally glaze my donuts but I was feeling particularly lazy and just powdered them with a bit of powdered sugar. They were still sweet enough! And if you don’t have dried blueberries, I’m sure fresh blueberries would work too. I’d use maybe 3/4 cup.

I changed a few things in the recipe. I normally end up eating my baked goods alone, so I only made 6 donuts instead of 12. And I made things a bit more lemony because, yeah, I just don’t like the whole grain flavor too much. If you want to make 12, this recipe can be easily doubled.
